Essential Business Management Skills for Leaders

Programme Categories
Leadership & Management

Programme Overview

In today’s organisations, employees often find it difficult to learn new skills and transfer current knowledge across functions. Companies too feel the urgent need to spur intrapreneurship and ownership at all levels, requiring employees to demonstrate business acumen in their day-to-day decisions. Developing entrepreneurial employees with business acumen is at the core of today’s major successful organisations; among them Google, IBM and Intel.

The ability to think strategically across the organisation vertically and horizontally to sense opportunities and threats, seize or deal with them and make the necessary changes is fast becoming the key dominant in an organisation’s success. Business acumen can no longer be limited to the founders and owners of businesses alone. It has become imperative for organisations to arm their workforce with skills and knowledge across business functions, in areas, they find particularly challenging like analysing reports, impact of key decision making, understanding financial tradeoffs, thereby paving the way for future managers.
